Government (Accidentally) Seizes Schmancy Websites!

First they came for the hip hop websites, when Homeland Security seized the servers of popular websites OnSmash and RapGodfathers, due to “copyright” claims. But though that was a huge deal, the WHITE MEDIA couldn’t sustain much interest or outrage. Now the governmenthas come for the white people Internet, so attention will be paid! Last night, the FBI raided a data center that included hosting for Curbed, Eater and Instapaper, all of which cater to the iPhone and garlic scapes set, allegedly and supposedly in an attempt to grab info on some servers used by LulzSec, the “computer hacker group” who recently messed with PBS and Sony Playstation.

SO NOW THE STRUGGLE HAS COME HOME… TO THE LOWER EAST SIDE.

Upside: if any luxury brands would like to salvage some impressions of high-end inventory while Curbed is offline, do inquire within! Boom!
